Generación blockchain: movimientos juveniles en la era de la web semántica

Abstract

Abstract (analytical)This article proposes the concept of Generation â‚¿ or Blockchain to analyze youth movements in the era of semantic web. Starting from previous conceptualizations about Generation @ or At sign and about Generation # or Hashtag, the signifier, meaning and traits of the Generation â‚¿ are presented, which are illustrated with the analysis of the 2019 protests, in the context of the mobilizations of the last decade. The concept of Blockchain or chain of blocks serves to reflect on the type of youth movements that emerged after the 2008 crisis, that are chained in blocks as a tactic of resistance against state and corporate powers and as a collaborative way of producing value in the face of the prevailing social anomie. Keywords: Youth, generations, information society, youth movements, social media. Author Keywords: Generation @, generation at sign, generation #, generation hashtag, generación â‚¿, generation blockchain.
